How Hearing Care Can Be Done Differently
Transparency
Clear explanations, competitive pricing and a price-match guarantee mean you’ll always know exactly what to expect.

The Real Value of Your Dollar

In other words, your investment helps extend the reach of support beyond the people who walk through our doors.
What To Expect At Your First Appointment
Understanding your hearing starts with understanding you. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment.
Conversation
Before any testing begins, we’ll spend time getting to know you. We’ll talk about your hearing concerns, your health history and any changes you’ve noticed in day-to-day life.
Testing
After we talk, you’ll move into a quiet testing room and put on headphones. As you listen to sounds and words, we’ll see where hearing feels clear and where it may be harder.
Results
We’ll review your results and what we’ve found. If treatment is recommended, we’ll talk through your options and help you decide what feels right for you.
Hearing Care Support That Fits Your Needs
Some people come to us looking for answers. Others are ready for treatment or ongoing support. Our services are designed to meet you where you are.
Hearing Assessments
If something doesn’t sound quite right, a hearing assessment can help uncover what’s changed. We’ll review the results together and discuss whether treatment could help.

Visit as soon as possible – it will improve your life!
…As volume kept increasing on my car radio, TV, and after sitting in front of five trumpet players in my jazz orchestra for fifteen years, I knew it was time to seek help for my hearing… Wearing hearing aids has been a game-changer for me: my musicianship and intonation improved, I listen to recordings with the ears of a teenager, hear birds more clearly, and can lower the radio and television volumes— plus, the devices connect via Bluetooth. I’m now at ease in noisy restaurants, and most importantly, my wife appreciates my ability to listen to her and everything else at a low volume.If you’re concerned about your hearing, my advice is to visit as soon as possible— it will improve your life!

Wavefront Hearing gave me hope.
When I first realized something was up with my hearing, I was young and kind of scared. It took me years to accept my hearing loss; I still carry those fears and concerns, but contacting Wavefront Hearing gave me a huge boost of confidence. My first impressions of Wavefront Hearing were incredibly positive. They gave me hope, and I was happy to see other people like me being treated for their hearing issues. You could see the happiness and contentment on their faces…If someone I know were concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Wavefront Hearing, I would tell them of my positive experience— that first impression will last a lifetime. I’ve already recommended Wavefront Hearing to a friend looking for hearing aids!

I’m confident the people working know their stuff. Right on!
I first realized I had a hearing challenge during a mandatory check for a future employer. Before reaching out to Wavefront Hearing, I had no preconceived fears or concerns, since my grandfather wears hearing aids himself.My first impression was, “Holy ****, this is high-end—I’m confident the dude or gal working knows their stuff. Right on!” Although I don’t wear hearing aids myself, I can relate through my grandfather’s experience; it’s a bit frustrating having to re-emphasize something that was conveyed with enthusiasm…To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would tell them that the team is kind, easy-going, and super friendly.

They’re always going the extra mile to make sure that people feel welcome and heard.
People started telling me that I wasn’t hearing them correctly, which motivated me to get an assessment. I first visited Wavefront Hearing when they were still in that old house in Kits; my first impression was of an organization whose priority was service to people….I am relieved by how much of a difference my hearing aids make when I do wear them. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say Wavefront is great. They have a real understanding of hearing loss and how it impacts people, always going the extra mile to make sure that people feel welcome and heard.
